Past emergencies and recovery needs in Hermiston

Since 1964, Umatilla County has been named in 13 FEMA declarations; wildfire (5 declarations) and flooding (4 declarations) lead the list. A project that reaches Stanfield should read that page too; it lists the declarations for its county.

The most recent is Hagen Fire (fire management assistance declaration, FM-5664), declared August 9, 2026, with the incident beginning July 16, 2026. Evacuations, smoke damage and power shutoffs can close commercial kitchens and spoil refrigerated stock, while crews and displaced staff still need hot meals. The latest major disaster declaration is Wildfires (DR-4854), declared January 1, 2025. By incident type, the count is wildfire 5, flooding 4, severe storms 2, coastal storm 1 and drought 1. By decade: 1960s 1, 1970s 1, 1990s 2, 2000s 3, 2010s 1 and 2020s 5. Earlier declarations include Lower Dry Creek Fire (FM-5645, July 16, 2026), Battle Mountain Fire Complex (FM-5514, July 21, 2024), Severe Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4519, April 3, 2020), Severe Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4452, July 9, 2019) and Hurricane Katrina Evacuation (EM-3228, September 7, 2005).

Ten years of NOAA storm records, 2016 through 2025, show 33 county-based event records for Umatilla County; high-wind and thunderstorm events account for 24 of them, flood events for 9. NOAA's largest reported property loss there is $40 million, from a flood in February 2020. Storm winds mean outages measured in days in some places, so the generator question belongs in the plan from the start.

Since 2016, NIFC perimeter data lists 14 large wildfires beginning in Umatilla County, about 140,844 acres in all. Hagen (2026, 61,380 acres) was the largest. Smoke, evacuations and power shutoffs can close kitchens and spoil stock even when the flames never reach the building.

Declarations are federal designations for an area, not a record of damage at a particular site.

Construction projects and crew meals near Hermiston

USASpending.gov lists 27 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more with work in Umatilla County since October 2021, worth about $391 million together. USASpending.gov shows a $83 million Department of Defense contract, “Mcnary Intake Gates and Isophse Bus Systems,” starting April 2022 in Umatilla County (award record). The Department of Defense committed $18 million to “Mcnary Dam Cranes 4&5 Replacement” in Umatilla County, awarded January 2020 (award record). Another public record is “Mcnary Lock and Dam Drainage, Unwatering and Equalization (Due) System Rehabilitation,” a $18 million Department of Defense contract from January 2023 in Umatilla County (award record). In April 2021, the Department of Defense awarded a $15 million contract for “Mna Service Station Units Upgrade” in Umatilla County, with work running to May 2025 (award record). Work like this puts crews on a site for months, often far from a restaurant, and the meals become a logistics question before the first shift starts. A project in Umatilla, about 7,899 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.

Renovation projects that close kitchens in Hermiston

In March 2021, the Department of Defense awarded a $51 million contract for “Mcnary Exciters, Governors, and Powerhouse Controls Upgrades” in Umatilla County, with work running to November 2026 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $4.2 million Department of Defense contract, “Mna - Spillway Hoist Upgrade,” starting November 2024 in Umatilla County (award record). Irrigon is on the same footing: the old kitchen closes on a date, and the temporary one has to be cooking before it.

Emergency equipment access around Hermiston

The Oregon Department of Emergency Management (OEM) and local emergency managers decide where public disaster staging happens in Oregon. Those details are theirs to publish and update, so this page points to them instead of guessing at a route. Staging and access details differ again in Boardman, in Morrow County, so check the published sources for that area before planning a route.
